Abstract
This article explores the transformative potential of learning factories in mechatronic
systems development. Learning factories offer a dynamic, collaborative
environment that bridges the gap between academia and industry, creating a mutually
beneficial ecosystem. The LEONARDO project aims to develop innovative
teaching methods, materials and tools for human-centric industrial engineering and
management education leveraging on an industry 5.0 replica of a brewing system.
Brewing as a process can be considered as highly complex, while brewing as a
procedure serves as a "sexy vehicle" for appealing student’s interest in industry
5.0 applications and human-centric production. The brewing process is and will
increasingly be more automated and highly supervised. For the latter, modern
implementations of sensors such as electronic nose, electronic tongue, and infrared
spectroscopy are required to be installed on the brewing equipment. To efficiently
use the sensor outputs, the produced signals need to be merged locally and processed
adequately, researched and investigated deeply by the authors up-front with
the results to be summarized. Furthermore, to enable the physical bridging of
various involved institutions across Europe, connecting the relevant sites virtually
presents another technological challenge. Adequate IoT equipment needs to be
selected and included in the whole setup as well. Furthermore, an emphasis needs
to be made on the human-centric approach, as well as data visualization. Each
of the aforementioned pieces of technology need a thorough investigation along
with a decent focus in integrating the puzzle pieces into the big picture which is
the brewing plant. In this paper we describe the interaction along with the system
integration strategies of the listed fields to enable a future proof industry 5.0 ready
brewing plant, focusing on the human-centric approach demanded in the industry
5.0 feature description.
